NUCLEAR ASSAULT Bassist: 'I'm Not Sure I've Got Enough In Me To Write Another Thrash Record'

February 16, 2006

Greg Wilson of DoomsdayMusic.com recently conducted an interview with NUCLEAR ASSAULT bassist Danny Lilker. An excerpt from the chat follows:

DoomsdayMusic.com: "Third World Genocide" has been out for a while now, are you planning on going back in the studio soon or touring supporting it?

Danny: "Well, the album came out later than we wanted it to. We were supposed to be supporting it when we toured Europe last year. I'll give you a direct answer; I don't know how much more we can do besides all the other shit. John's [Connelly, guitar/vocals] going to be getting his degree as a teacher in May. I mean, we're all older now and we all got real shit going on right now, bills to pay, kids to feed and shit like that. Right now all we got going on is a festival in Spain in March, as far as supporting the record we can't do shit like we did a few years ago like going out on the road for a while and touring as much as we would like to so. We just did this record because when we came back people started asking, 'Are you going to do another record?' and we said sure and did a record, but I don't think we'd be able to support it like we did back in the day, I mean here and there maybe but the way things are right now February 2006 its going to be hard for us to keep going out and doing a bunch of shit."

DoomsdayMusic.com: So basically you're thinking about going into retirement again?

Danny: "It could be that way, its hard to say we did a bunch of stuff that includes Anthony Bramante [guitar], but he only did like three shows when we came back in 2002 and he wasn't able to commit to anything else so since then we have had a couple of very capable people helping us, like my friend Eric Burke, who was on a bunch of shows, and a guy named Karl Cochran, so there's that. We always have to find people to do stuff. I'm not sure I've got enough in me to write another thrash record, to be honest. I think it's really important that if you going to come back and do something you should do it right and when we wrote the stuff on this record it felt good but we also wrote that stuff like four years ago. I'm not saying we're not going to record again but I am just being realistic, I'm not really sure what we're going to do."
